Forever Nigella 6 – Sea Fish and Eat It.

I am thrilled to be hosting this month’s Forever Nigella blogging event. Not only am I a huge fan of Nigella Lawson’s food writing but I am ever so fond of Sarah as she once gave me a flapjack (I am that easy).

I had some awesome ideas about the theme for this month which had all been chosen by the other event hosts already *ahem* but having just spent a wonderful week by the sea in Cornwall I was inspired by the briny fayre to make this month a fishy treat. So our theme is Sea Fish & Eat It – a celebration of the sea’s bounty.

This is one of my favourite squid recipes and Nigella’s seasoning combo makes for an interesting twist on my usual flour, salt and pepper. She suggests using frozen squid for reasons of expedience but I get fresh from the fish stall at Winchester Farmers Market which is generally very good. I love making this for a Monday night supper; it may take a little preparation but it feels like lazy cooking to me.

The Rules Bit (concentrate):

Forever Nigella #6 “Sea Fish and Eat It”

Challenge: To prepare and blog any Nigella recipe using seafood or freshwater fish.

Deadline: Sunday, June 26 2011 at midnight wherever you are.

Round up: By the next weekend.

There are:

No rules about how often you must take part

No rules about stuff being secret until certain dates

No rules that everyone cook exactly the same thing

No rules about not being able to submit to any other blog events – just check it doesn’t contravene the other guys’ rules

2. So not to breach Nigella’s copyright you must NOT reproduce recipes verbatim as shown in her books. If using an original Nigella recipe, tell us which book it is from and/or where we find it online (see most likely sites below). If you’ve adapted the recipe in some way i.e. changed at least two ingredients or amended the method then it’s ok to publish the a recipe in your post but you MUST write the directions in your own words.

[…] Each event has a theme and you can blog about any of Nigella’s recipes which fit in this theme. Each event lasts around a month with the deadline and theme publicised on the latest badge for the month. The current theme is “Sea Fish and Eat It” runs until Sunday June 26th. The current host is Kat at Housewife Confidential. For more details read the current announcement post. […]

Oh I love fish! Going to spend this afternoon with Nigella looking for the perfect recipe. This is what I love about challenges; I’m new to blogging and hadn’t come across your site before, I love all these new discoveries!

Hello Kat, I am a new visitor, and wanted to say hi, and this is a great feature. I have quite a few Nigella books, but I probably wont manage this one (I move to a new town on Friday, yikes). But I am looking forward to seeing other peoples creations.

I was trying to think about it from the angle, algae and all that yummy stuff. Maybe a green shake but so far haven’t found any recipes. I have a backup recipe just in case that I know my co-workers will eat :-D
